RIO DE JANEIRO: Brazil star Neymar has paved the way for a potentially early departure from Paris Saint-Germain by declaring he ‘really wants to’ work under Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola. Speculation that Neymar could leave PSG only a year after signing a record-setting 222 million euro (US$264 million) deal with the French league giants has been rife. “I really want to work with him.”Guardiola quit Barcelona in 2012 after steering the club to 14 trophies in four seasons. Neymar arrived a year later and went on to spend four seasons at the Camp Nou, before completing his record-setting move to the French capital. Although PSG secured a French domestic treble of league, Cup and League Cup last season, Neymar missed the latter third due to injury.
